Home Assistant Integration for OpenDisplay
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) |
What people report
OpenDisplay e-paper tags work over Bluetooth with WiFi/LAN added, though some displays are detected at the wrong size and firmware updates fail on Silabs boards.
